Euphonium

 
 
The euphonium is a brass instrument that is a regular feature in brass bands. Its use in classical music is limited, although it has been used as a substitute for Wagner tubas. There are a few concertos for it, though hardly any by a composer who is at least a bit known. I have selected one composed by Welsh composer Alun Hoddinott in 2002, titled "The Sunne Rising - The King Will Ride. It is played by David Childs with the BBC National Orchestra Of Wales under Bramwell Tovey on Chandos.
